Mini planet Kowal finds new object beyond Saturn
Astronomers led by Charles Kowal at Hale Observatories report a small 100 to 400 mile object between Saturn and Uranus orbiting the sun. It may be a new asteroid or a possible tenth planet, described as a mini planet, with orbit estimates ranging 66 to 115 years. Further observations planned to confirm its nature.
